CHICAGO, November THE scheme to
furnish Lingg with bombs, which were
discovered in his cell yesterday, WAS evil
IDENTIFY carefully carried ont by some of his
eO-partners in crime on the out side.
Several days ago, u fancy soap box was
brought to the Jail and Just now in the
heat of excitement the officials say they
cannot remember who delivered it. They
may know who it was, but if they do,
they will not say 50, until they have made
some arrests The box was harmless
| looking affair, and il WAS handled by the
deputy in the rough manner Jail officials
usually do those things. A hasty exami-
natiOn disclosed the fact that to all APP
pearances il contained nothing more than
few delicacies, for even such
"Hurron tiger" as Lingg has an ap-
petite Had the police and deputies
known that therewere bombs lying around
loose in such close proximity, they would
not have felt so easy, but they were in
| ignorance Of any danger, and they would
probably have continued so had it not been
for the raid on Iiugg's cell. 1t was then
that the Insignificant looking soap box
was discovered to have y false bottOm, and
it WAS underneath that the four bombs had
been anuggled into the Jail.
LINGG Il DEFIANT.
Louis Lingg is defiant and sullen this
morning. He put on his oldest suit OF
clothes-a pair of grey corduroy trousers,
and black Jacket put his feet up on the
| little iron coil, and began to read. His cell
is on the lower tier and looks out upon the
examining cage The reporters may observe
him at q distance Of eight feet. Lingg is
restless, and every few minutes he would
Jerk his head around and stare through the
grated door with wild look. Presently
he got up, planted himself in front of the
cell door, thrust his hands into his pockets
and looked straight before him upon the
| contracted field of his vision. He saw moth
ing but the watchful clusters of reporters
and suspicious muscular bailitfs.
| He was nervous He would
lean against the wall, sit down on the edge
of the COIL get up, put his elbows on the
cross bars of his cell and rest his face on
| his hands. A favorite attitude was to
stand firmly erect fold his arms over his
broad chest and gaze out bristling and
ferociOus. None Of the seven were let out
of their cells this morning, and Jailer
Folz says they won't be to-day.
! Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Engel and Mrs. Par
sons came to see their husbands, but the
best they could do was call out Good morn
ing, and send up some papers. No packages
OF aLy sort were allowed to go IN. Nina
Van Zandt was there. Good morning."
she called out TO Spies. Good morning, ]"
he returned, and that was
THE END OF THE DIALOGUE
between them. She wrote a note which
the taller had sent up to Spies. All the
mail was broken and examined this morn
ing. the first time since the Imprisonment,
and kilograms were torn open and read.
All private communication with their
friends is stopped, and will continue to be
until the day OF the execution, If that
comes.
Capt Black and Moses SalGmon came to
the iail at 10 o'clock. Black had only
stepped into the office when Jailer FOlz
took him into his private room and talked
earnestly to him Black then talked with
each ofhis cl.ents at their cell doors.
''Will the finding OF those bombs in
Lingg's cell change any of the plans of the
defense, Mr.. SalOmon?"
mo, We will go right ahead with the
petitions and ask clemency for Lingg, and
we GO to Springfield on Tuesday as already
arranged"
In regard to yesterdays discovery OF
bombs in the county Jail, and Liugg,
Judge Gary said concerning the latter:
"H6 Is generally looked upon as the most
desperate of the condemned men, and un-
doubtediy he intended to blow up the
building and kill ss many peopls as posi-
BILE. TIE fact that he had armed himself
with four of the deathly weapons would
seem 10 indicate that he was determined
TO do as much damage as be cOnld.

"What effect will this he likely to have
on the future history of the Case?"

In regard TO the statement published In
some OF the papers that he would soon
give the public the benefit OF his views on
the appeal for clemency, Judge Gary said
that be had not informed any one that such
WAS his intention. There are certain
